Awin 2026 Report: Trust Outweighs Reach in Affiliates
Awin's Influencing Retail Report 2026 (reported 28 July 2026) finds that consumer purchase decisions in Germany are shifting from pure reach toward trust and recommendation. Key findings: 81% of consumers changed buying behaviour because of rising living costs; 42% spend more time on price comparisons and research; younger cohorts (18–24 and 25–34) show high direct purchase rates after creator recommendations (48% and 49% respectively); 38% of Germans have bought or considered buying a product recommended by an AI tool. Most purchases still complete on online marketplaces (43%), while social commerce remains small (6%). The article concludes affiliate strategies must prioritise high-quality content, authentic recommendations and independent comparison touchpoints along the customer journey.
